Green light given for Germany’s first land-based terminal for liquefied gases in Stade
- Shareholders commit to final investment decision
- Enagás increases share to 15 per cent and will be the terminal’s operator
- Johann Killinger hands over CEO responsibilities to Jan Themlitz
- Commissioning of ammonia-ready terminal planned in 2027

Hanseatic Energy Hub GmbH has committed to the final investment decision to construct Germany’s first land-based terminal for liquefied gases. After successfully concluding the permitting- and commercial phase in late 2023, the company´s shareholders Partners Group (on behalf of its clients), Enagás, Dow and the Buss Group have now successfully secured financing for the large-scale infrastructure project, known as well as the Hanseatic Energy Hub (HEH). The globally active EPC* specialist Técnicas Reunidas and its partners, FCC and Enka, have been awarded the contract to build the future-flexible energy hub at the Stade Industrial Park. Around one billion Euros will be invested in the construction of the terminal. The official groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled to be held in the coming weeks.

This final investment decision allows the Hanseatic Energy Hub to make an important contribution to securing Europe’s energy supplies following its planned commissioning in 2027. Initially the HEH will serve as an import terminal for LNG, SNG (synthetic natural gas) and liquefied biomethane and, subsequently, for ammonia, as a carbon-neutral, hydrogen-based energy carrier. Once the HEH enters into service, the FSRU “Energos Force” chartered by Germany’s federal government will set sail from Stade. The floating LNG terminal, which has been on site since March 2024, will continue to secure the gas supply in the short term until the more efficient land-based terminal is completed.

The Hanseatic Energy Hub will have a total capacity of 13.3 billion cubic metres of natural gas per year. Ninety per cent of this volume has been booked long-term by three European energy majors EnBW, SEFE and ČEZ. The remaining capacity is reserved for short-term bookings. Long-term contracts include the option to switch to hydrogen-based energy carriers at a later stage. The terminal has been certified by permitting bodies as being ammonia-ready.

Following a development of more than six years, the Hanseatic Energy Hub project is entering its next phase. Enagás is providing the technical direction of the construction and will also be terminal operator. The Spanish energy company is increasing its share from 10 to 15 per cent.

Johann Killinger, one of the entrepreneurs driving the project up to this point, is stepping down from the management team following the investment decision. He will now focus on his role as a shareholder, handing over to Jan Themlitz the CEO responsibilities for constructing and commissioning the terminal. Jan Themlitz has a long track record of developing energy-related projects as well as extensive LNG experience from having worked with gas majors and power generators for 30 years.

L'Allemagne met le paquet pour convertir ses entreprises à l'hydrogène vert

11.04.2024 JEAN-LUC PONCIN h21-mobile

L’Union européenne a approuvé le plan allemand de soutien à la décarbonation de son tissu de petites et moyennes entreprises du secteur de l’industrie. Plus de 2,2 milliards d’euros seront versés, sous forme de subventions directes, pour soutenir les investissements qui permettront de remplacer les combustibles fossiles par de l’hydrogène vert.

L’Allemagne poursuit ses investissements dans l’hydrogène vert. Le secteur privé multiplie les initiatives (créations de stations-service H2, conversion de flottes, recherche et développement…) et le gouvernement compte bien profiter de cette dynamique pour accélérer la transition écologique Outre-Rhin.

Après le premier appel d'offres, lancé il y a quelques semaines de 4 milliards d'euros pour un programme de contrats sur différence carbone (CcfD) destiné à l’industrie lourde, ce sont désormais les PME et les ETI qui vont bénéficier de subsides d’État pour basculer vers des processus à faibles émissions de carbone.

Ce sont ainsi 2,2 milliards d’euros qui seront versés aux « entreprises qui dépendent de l'utilisation de combustibles fossiles comme source d'énergie ou matière première pour leurs processus de production dans le secteur industriel en Allemagne, pour des investissements permettant la substitution des énergies fossiles par de l’hydrogène renouvelable ou des carburants renouvelables dérivés de l’hydrogène, et favoriser la transition vers une économie nette zéro ».

L'Allemagne va fournir 2.3 milliard d' euro pour aider à la décarbonisation de secteurs industriels :

Germany to Provide $2.3B Aid for Decarbonization of Industrial Sectors

by Jov Onsat|Rigzone Staff | Tuesday, April 16, 2024

The German government has received clearance from the European Commission for EUR 2.2 billion ($2.3 billion) in state support for projects to migrate industrial sectors from fossil fuels to renewable hydrogen, as well as projects to electrify industrial processes.

To qualify for the aid, which takes the form of direct grants, “companies need to either electrify their production processes, or switch from the use of fossil fuels to renewable hydrogen or renewable hydrogen-derived fuels”, said a press release by the European Commission announcing the granting of approval under European Union market competition rules.

“Eligible projects must lead to a reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from production processes of at least 40 percent, compared to today”, the announcement stated.

It added, “For investments relating to activities covered by the EU Emission Trading System (‘ETS'), the emissions reduction must go below the relevant ETS benchmarks in force at the time of granting the aid”. The ETS is a cross-border carbon price adjustment mechanism that requires companies emitting global warming-causing gases to cut emissions by 62 percent over this decade compared to 2005 levels.

“In addition, the beneficiaries will not be able to increase their production capacity beyond 2 percent,” the Commission said.

Projects can qualify for up to EUR 200 million ($212.2 million) each. The grants will be awarded by December 2025, according to the announcement.

The aid was approved under fair competition rules of the 27-member EU. “The Commission concluded that the German scheme is necessary, appropriate and proportionate to accelerate the green transition and facilitate the development of certain economic activities, which are of importance for the implementation of the REPowerEU Plan and the Green Deal Industrial Plan, in line with Article 107(3)(c) TFEU [Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union] and the conditions set out in the Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework”, the Commission said.

REPowerEU, launched May 18, 2022, is the EU’s strategic plan toward independence from Russian fossil fuels.

The Green Deal refers to the package of policies for a climate-neutral EU by 2050, including the "Fit for 55" set of laws toward achieving a regional reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of at least 55 percent by 2030 relative to 1990.

The Temporary Crisis and Transition Framework meanwhile allows EU countries to use the flexibility provided by the bloc's state aid rules to cushion the economic impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war, including by providing aid in the energy sector, as well as the sectors of agriculture, aquaculture and fisheries.

Margrethe Vestager, executive vice president for competition policy at the Commission, said in a statement, “The measure will also help Germany to reduce its dependence on imported fossil fuels faster, in line with the REPowerEU Plan, while ensuring that potential competition distortions are kept to the minimum”.

Germany, the biggest economy and top emitter in the EU, aims to become net zero by 2045, as set out in the country’s amended Climate Change Act, adopted June 25, 2021.

RWE permitted to dismantle Gundremmingen plant

31 May 2024

German utility RWE announced it has received the third and final licence from the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection to decommission and dismantle the former Gundremmingen nuclear power plant.


Gundremmingen (Image: RWE)

The 1284 MWe Gundremmingen B boiling water reactor (BWR) in southern Germany was disconnected from the grid on 31 December 2017 after 33 years of operation. Gundremmingen C - a 1288 MWe BWR - permanently shut down on 31 December 2021.

The licence for dismantling unit B according to the Atomic Energy Act was granted by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection in March 2019; the licence for dismantling unit C in May 2021.

"Since then, several thousand tonnes of material have been removed from the two reactor buildings, processed and mostly returned to the recycling cycle," RWE said. "The third permit that has now been granted covers the dismantling of all plant components that were not the subject of the previous permits."

RWE said the Bavarian State Ministry for the Environment and Consumer Protection issued the final licence on 28 May.

"This means that all the prerequisites for the dismantling target set for the mid/late 2030s, namely the release of the plant from nuclear regulatory supervision, are now in place," the company said.

"The granting of the permit enables us to continue the immediate dismantling in accordance with the current Atomic Energy Act and is an important milestone in our dismantling project," said Gundremmingen Plant Manager Heiko Ringel. "The rapid and safe dismantling is guaranteed by a highly-motivated and technically experienced team made up of our own staff and partner companies.

"All work is subject to monitoring by the supervisory authority, which accompanies and supervises the dismantling with the support of various independent experts. Plant safety, occupational safety and health protection have the highest priority in all activities."

In December 2021, RWE awarded a contract to Westinghouse to dismantle the two reactors at the Gundremmingen plant. Under the contract, Westinghouse will dismantle and pack the reactor pressure vessels, including the associated internals, the fuel element storage racks and adjacent concrete shielding structures in units B and C of the Gundremmingen plant. The work is expected to be completed in 2030.

German coal company to get about €1 billion for shutting mines

Bloomberg News | May 31, 2024

Germany’s second largest coal miner is likely to receive in the region of €1 billion ($1.1 billion) in compensation for the shutdown of its fossil operations, with the European Commission set to heavily cut down on agreed state aid, according to people familiar with the matter.


Lausitz Energie Bergbau AG — a unit of Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky’s EPH group — had initially been promised €1.75 billion by the government to cover mine rehabilitations and closures, but Brussels’ competition enforcers had some doubts about those calculations. The approval is likely to come imminently and before the summer break for Brussels, said the people that asked not to be named because the matter is private.

The commission is set to issue a draft decision on its state aid review as early as next week, the people said. The figure of the state aid is subject to change.

LEAG declined to comment. A spokesperson of the economy ministry said negotiations with the commission are still ongoing.

The commission said it was in “continuous constructive contact with the German authorities in the context of the formal investigation into the compensation measure in favour of LEAG, also in light of the ongoing exchanges between the German authorities and LEAG.”

The German government initially brokered the deal in 2020, which was meant to cushion LEAG and RWE AG’s coal exit by 2038. The EU Commission had opened an in-depth investigation on the proportionality of the subsidy especially for LEAG, but last year gave its green light to the full €2.6 billion support measure for RWE.

The Essen-based utility had previously sealed a deal with the government to move its coal exit forward to 2030, a step Cottbus-based LEAG is not willing to take as it insists on burning lignite — a particularly climate-harmful fossil fuel — for as long as legally possible.

LEAG earlier said it wanted to use a part of the state aid to finance its green energy push. The company wants to invest more than €10 billion in renewables by 2030.

Allemagne : l'UE donne son feu vert à une aide pour la fermeture anticipée de centrales au charbon dans l'est du pays

AFP le 04 juin 2024

Berlin a annoncé mardi avoir obtenu le feu vert de la Commission européenne pour une enveloppe de 1,75 milliard d'euros promise en compensation de la fermeture anticipée des centrales au charbon dans une région d'Allemagne de l'Est.

Un accord politique de 1,75 milliard d'euros
Un "accord politique" a été trouvé pour que l'entreprise Leag, active dans la région d'extraction de lignite de Lusace, puisse supporter les coûts liés à la fin de l'exploitation de cette source d'énergie fossile, a annoncé le ministre de l'Economie Robert Habeck.

L'argent devrait être consacré pour 1,2 milliard d'euros à la renaturation des mines à ciel ouvert et à la compensation des coûts sociaux liés à l'élimination progressive du charbon dans cette région poche de la Pologne.

550 millions d'euros supplémentaires pourront être versés quand Leag aura retiré ses centrales électriques du réseau.

Une fin prévue en 2038
La loi allemande prévoit d'abandonner progressivement le charbon pour la production d'électricité d'ici 2038.

Pour encourager la fermeture anticipée des centrales, Berlin a promis un soutien de plusieurs milliards d'euros à Leag et à l'énergéticien RWE basé en Rhénanie-du-Nord-Westphalie, autre région minière de l'ouest du pays.

La Commission européenne avait ouvert en mars 2021 une enquête approfondie sur ces aides, financées par le contribuable, car elle étaient susceptibles de constituer une aide d'Etat non conforme aux règles.

Les compensations pour RWE, à hauteur de 2,6 milliards d'euros, ont été approuvées en 2023 dans le cadre de l'accord avec l'entreprise visant à avancer l'élimination du charbon en Rhénanie jusqu'en 2030.

Berlin s'était également prononcé en faveur d'une élimination rapide du lignite dans l'Est d'ici 2030, mais Leag a voulu maintenir l'horizon de 2038, ce qui explique pourquoi les discussions avec les autorités bruxelloises de la concurrence ont été difficiles.

Réseaux électriques : Berlin renonce pour raisons budgétaires à racheter l'opérateur TenneT

AFP le 20 juin 2024

Le projet de rachat par Berlin de la filiale allemande du gestionnaire de réseaux électriques public néerlandais TenneT, étape clé dans ses projets de transition énergétique, a échoué en raison de contraintes budgétaires, a annoncé jeudi l'entreprise.

Les négociations entre TenneT Holding, dont la maison-mère est aux Pays-Bas, et la banque publique allemande KfW, bras financier de l'Etat allemand, en vue du rachat complet de TenneT Allemagne, "se sont terminées (jeudi) sans résultat", selon un communiqué de la filiale allemande.

TenneT, le plus grand des quatre gestionnaires de réseau des "autoroutes de l'électricité" en Allemagne, est valorisé autour de 20 milliards d'euros selon la presse allemande, ce qui en faisait un gros morceau à avaler.

Berlin a informé l'État néerlandais "ne pas pouvoir réaliser la transaction prévue en raison de problèmes budgétaires", précise l'entreprise, sans donner plus de précision.

L'affaire entre les deux Etats semblait conclue à l'automne 2023, avant qu'un arrêt choc de la Cour constitutionnelle fédérale mi-novembre, laissant un trou de 60 milliards d'euros, ne provoque une crise budgétaire sans précédent en Allemagne.

Au sein de la coalition gouvernementale menée par le chancelier Olaf Scholz, le ministre des Finances libéral Christian Lindner mène depuis la chasse aux économies afin que le budget reste dans les clous de la règle constitutionnelle qui limite le recours à l'endettement.

L'entreprise est notamment responsable d'acheminer l'électricité produite par les éoliennes au nord du pays vers les régions du sud qui la consomment. Il s'agit d'une activité stratégique aux yeux de l'Etat allemand qui veut réussir le virage vers les énergies renouvelables.

Le ministre de l'Economie Robert Habeck (Verts) s'est dit déçu de l'échec des négociations avec Tennet, en marge d'un voyage en Asie à Séoul, la capitale sud-coréenne.

Berlin vise désormais une alternative qui pourrait prendre la forme d'une participation minoritaire de l'Etat dans TenneT dans le cadre d'un consortium.

Le coup est aussi dur pour TenneT Holding, qui s'apprête à recourir aux marchés de capitaux publics ou privés pour trouver une solution de financement à long terme pour ses activités allemandes.

Le groupe reste soutenu par l'État néerlandais actionnaire, qui lui a récemment accordé un prêt de 25 milliards d'euros couvrant les besoins financiers pour les années 2024 et 2025.

Uniper to recommission 160 MW pumped storage plant in Germany
The Happurg pumped storage plant was shut down in 2011 for safety reasons after the base of the upper reservoir was damaged. Uniper has carried out feasibility studies on the site, with a view to reconnecting it to the grid in 2028. The facility can store approximately 850 MWh of electricity in the form of pumped water.

JUNE 27, 2024 BLATHNAID O'DEA

Uniper has said it will invest approximately €250 million ($267 million) to recommission a pumped storage plant in Happurg, a town located in Bavaria, southeast Germany. The Düsseldorf-headquartered utilities multinational plans to reconnect the facility to the grid in 2028.

Biggest pumped storage facility in Bavaria

The Happurg plant is one of the largest pumped storage facilities in Germany and the biggest one in Bavaria. At 160 MW, it has a drop height of 209 meters and can store around 850 MWh of electricity. It was shut down as a safety precaution in 2011 after the base of the upper reservoir was damaged.

But hopes to recommission the plant were not entirely abandoned, and it has been subject to intensive subsoil investigations and geotechnical assessments. A feasibility study was carried out and approved by relevant authorities. The study outlined a technical concept for the rehabilitation of the upper basin, which would enable the project to be restarted.

Energie: l'Allemagne se prépare à être dépendante des importations d'hydrogène

AFP le 24 juill. 2024

L'Allemagne, qui mise sur l'hydrogène pour décarboner son économie, se prépare à devoir importer de 50 à 70% des quantités nécessaires, a indiqué mercredi le gouvernement sous la pression des acteurs de l'économie pour mettre en oeuvre cet objectif ambitieux.

Pour la première économie européenne qui a renoncé au nucléaire en 2023 et qui veut se sevrer du charbon d'ici 2030 à 2038, l'hydrogène et ses dérivés sont la clé de la décarbonation de l'industrie et de la production d'énergie.

D'autant que la guerre en Ukraine a sonné le glas du gaz russe bon marché qui a fait tourner les usines allemandes durant des décennies.

Une grande partie des besoins en hydrogène "devra être couverte par des importations de l'étranger", a déclaré mercredi le ministre de l'Économie Robert Habeck (Verts) en présentant la feuille de route du gouvernement pour s'approvisionner auprès de pays tiers.

Selon le ministère, l'Allemagne devra importer en 2030 de l'hydrogène et des dérivés d'hydrogène à hauteur de 45 à 90 térawattheures (TWh), soit 50 à 70% de ses besoins annuels totaux (entre 95 et 130 TWh). D'ici 2045, les besoins du pays pourraient atteindre entre 360 et 500 TWh d'hydrogène et environ 200 TWh de dérivés d'hydrogène.

Berlin dit travailler avec "un grand nombre de pays, de régions et d'acteurs partenaires" afin de "diversifier au maximum les sources d'approvisionnement".

L'établissement de partenariats sur l'hydrogène a été au coeur de nombreux déplacements du chancelier Olaf Scholz et du ministre de l'Économie ces deux dernières années, notamment sur le continent africain, mais aussi au Canada, au Qatar ou en Australie.

L'importation depuis les pays partenaires se fera par bateau, sous forme d'ammoniac ou d'hydrogène liquide, l'Allemagne misant également sur la construction de pipelines pour l'acheminement depuis les régions les moins éloignées.

L'hydrogène doit être utilisé dans les secteurs où les énergies renouvelables, comme le solaire et l'éolien, ne peuvent pas être utilisées directement, par exemple dans les secteurs industriels à forte consommation d'énergie comme la production d'acier.

Il doit aussi, à terme, remplacer le gaz dans les centrales produisant de l'électricité.

Plusieurs représentants de l'économie ont critiqué mercredi cette feuille de route, estimant qu'elle n'était pas assez concrète.

Il manque "de nouvelles mesures, des impulsions fraîches ou même des jalons qui pourraient stimuler le commerce mondial de l'hydrogène", a déploré Hartmut Rauen, de l'association des constructeurs de machines-outils (VDMA).

Les professionnels du gaz regroupés dans l'association "Zukunft Gas" ont demandé "des mesures concrètes et des calendriers", ainsi que la mise en place d'un "système de certification international uniforme pour l'hydrogène".

Tunnel Construction Starts for Forbach Pumped Storage Project

27 Jul 2024

German energy company EnBW hosted a ceremonial tunnel groundbreaking event late last month, signifying the official commencement of tunnel and mining work at the Forbach pumped storage project in Germany. The event, held at the Rudolf-Fettweis Plant, was attended by representatives from state and local governments, as well as the executing companies.
This ambitious project aims to convert and expand the Rudolf-Fettweis-Werk in Forbach, located in the Northern Black Forest, into a pumped storage power plant. This transformation necessitates the removal of many thousands of cubic meters of granite from the mountain to accommodate the modern facilities and enhance the capacity of the extensive water and energy storage facility.

ANDRITZ, a key partner in this project, will deliver and install a 50MW pump turbine along with three Francis turbines (13, 7, and 3MW), with the commissioning set for the summer of 2027.

Green light given for Germany’s first land-based liquefied gases terminal in Stade

Published by Jessica Casey, Editor 25 March 2024 14:00

Hanseatic Energy Hub GmbH has committed to the final investment decision (FID) to construct Germany’s first land-based terminal for liquefied gases. After successfully concluding the permitting and commercial phase in late 2023, the company´s shareholders, Partners Group (on behalf of its clients), Enagás, Dow, and the Buss Group, have now successfully secured financing for the large scale infrastructure project, known as well as the Hanseatic Energy Hub (HEH).

Construction starts in Stade: Strong signal for Europe’s security of supply

28 June 2024

Germany’s first land-based terminal for liquefied gases is set to go into operation in 2027 and will make a significant contribution to the security of supply of affordable energy in Europe. More than 1,100 people will be working on the construction site at peak times so that the two largest LNG tanks in Europe – each of which will be ammoniaready and have a capacity of 240,000 cubic metres – can be connected to the grid in three years’ time. Around 150 partners and backers attended the kick-off of the future project today at a joint ground-breaking ceremony on the site of the future terminal in Stade.


From left to right: Jan Themlitz (HEH), Julia Schlenz (Dow), Johann Killinger (Buss Group), Stefan Weil (Minister President of Lower Saxony), Jozef Síkela (Czech Minister of Industry and Trade), David Daum (Partmers Group) and Arturo Gonzalo (Enagás).

Stefan Weil, the Minister President of Lower Saxony, said: “Following the first floating LNG terminal, Germany’s first land-based liquefied natural gas terminal is now also being built in Lower Saxony. My sincere thanks go out to all involved. Our federal state is playing a key role in the expansion of infrastructure to import energy. It is also at the centre of the planned Germany-wide hydrogen core network, which will link all the main production sites, storage locations and industrial consumers. In conjunction with the further expansion of wind energy, we are strongly pursuing the goal of a green hydrogen economy and strengthening Lower Saxony’s position as Germany’s energy hub.”

Besides the two German energy suppliers EnBW and SEFE, which have respectively booked annual capacities of 6 and 4 billion cubic metres at the terminal, also the Czech energy company ČEZ has secured long-term import rights for 2 billion cubic metres per year. All customers have the option to switch their contracts to hydrogen-based energy sources, such as ammonia, as part of the energy transition in their home countries.
